I got out of the shower this morning to find Brando laying in the bed, on my pillows. I covered him, and he stayed there over an hour.
I took this little video last weekend at Possum Manor West. I enjoy those chickens so much, and they are very little work. Feed, water and clean pen. That is it!
Since last weekend Stella has caught two moles! She brings them in alive, thankfully, and Carrie takes them down the road and releases them. Stella [...]
The view off the deck has certainly changed in the last forty-eight hours. Most of the leaves are gone, and I can see the lights of the houses down the side of the hill.
I blew the leaves off the deck yesterday afternoon, but look at it now!
I put up a thistle feeder that is [...]
This was taken in the house we were renting while we built this one. We did not let the cats out, because we were in West Asheville, and there was just too much traffic. Pippin loves hair, and would often camp out on our heads.
The floor in the family room at Possum Manor [...]
I even have Carrie taking pictures now. I swear it is addictive. We get a lot of morning fog, especially in the fall. I am told the old saying is, “One snow storm for each morning of fog in the fall.” Get our the shovels, because there has been a lot of it. I think [...]
My favorite chicken (it was chickens, but one just disappeared) is my Silkie, Meryl. She is funny to watch, and though she is the smallest, she is the mightiest. She gets in there and fights for her piece of apple or tomato. Meryl will not be a great egg layer, maybe three a week, [...]
I am finding this day to be very stressful. So stressful in fact, that I had to go find something to make me laugh. I did. Remember my story about a can of paint falling out of my car in an unnamed parking lot? I went back to the scene [...]
Last night Brando let out this “Yelp” in the middle of the night and levitated from the bed to the floor where he stood crying. I called him back onto the bed, and he laid down next to me trembling. What the heck did that dog dream?
He is having a bit of a problem at [...]
I love fall. I love how it is so cold at night, but warms up in the afternoon. This weekend was just that way. Logs on in the fireplace in the morning to get the chill out, and shorts in the afternoon. I took lots of chicken photos, and I will post them this [...]
I cannot believe it is November already. I am going to participate in the Post Each Day of the November blog thingie. I will try to get the icon loaded on the page, but I really have no idea how to do it.
I am at Possum Manor West right now, on dial up, so there [...]
